Defense Will Be The Key To Villanova’s Success Vs. UNC
HOUSTON, TEXAS - APRIL 02: Ryan Arcidiacono #15 of
the
Villanova Wildcats and Kris Jenkins #2 reach for the ball in the
first half against the Oklahoma Sooners during the NCAA Men's
Final Four
Semifinal at NRG Stadium on April 2, 2016 in Houston,
Texas.
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Defense,
defense, defense, it’s what has carried Villanova to the brink of
winning its second NCAA championship and first in 31 years. That’s what
will be the key Monday night when the Wildcats (34-5) face North
Carolina (33-6) at the NRG Stadium, in Houston, Texas, in the NCAA
Tournament title game at 9:19 p.m. ET on TBS.
The Wildcats handled Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield, who was held to 9 points on 4 for 12 shooting. The Wildcats took Hield completely out of his game. He had 7 points at the half on 3 of 8 shooting and 1-for-5 from three-point range. Each time Hield touched the ball, he immediately had the attention of every Villanova player on the floor. It wasn’t just one player either that made Hield feel uncomfortable. He was passed off from one player to the next, eliminating any miscommunication on the switches.
